Pacific Islands

The lure of the Pacific Islands is the exotic, carefree lifestyle. Resorts abound, but there is much more to this region. Each island and island group has its own uniqueness, culture, and lifestyle.

Although, there is always an element of relaxation and water sports.

From modern to tribal, the islands need to be explored one by one. The islands include Micronesia, Polynesia, and Melanesia. Populations vary from fairly large to still unpopulated, tiny land masses.

To date, we have travelled to American Samoa, Rarotonga (Cook Islands), Malalo and Viti Levu (Fiji), Oahu, Kawaii, Maui, the Big Island (Hawaii), Morea and Tahiti (French Polynesia), and Upolu (Samoa).
